This fails WP:NSPORT which says "In addition, the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline." and "Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may be used to support content in an article, but it is not sufficient to establish notability. This includes listings in database sources with low, wide-sweeping generic standards of inclusion, such as Sports Reference's college football and basketball databases." Notability not established with substantive sources. Reywas92Talk 06:15, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per post-nom expansion work. At worst, redirect to the relevant "list of..." article. Note also that there was a previous RfC about the the criteria of WP:NSPORT here are too inclusive. It states that the subject-specific notability guideline do not replace or supercedes GNG, it also closed with the note of "As with the RfC on secondary school notability, this should not be an invitation to "flood AfD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations", which is now what is happening.

 * Redirect to List of Queensland first-class cricketers. I appreciate that there are more refs here, but we're looking at very passing references rather than anything in depth. I can't find anything else, and with only two matches and the passing references we have, I'm really not sure that we'll be able to add properly in depth sources. So just on the redirect side here I think. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:54, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep or redirect to List of Queensland first-class cricketers. NCRIC only provides a very weak presumption of notability for domestic cricketers and by consensus is unreliable, so GNG (and/or a different SNG) must be met. The sources are entirely insufficient to establish notability (and the meaningful ones only cover schools cricket) but it is reasonable to expect others may exist given coverage usually afforded in the Brisbane and wider Queensland press. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:12, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
